Fabrication and application of continuous douche for Da Vinci surgical robot arm.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The use of robotic surgery in hospitals is becoming increasingly widespread.

Objective

This research was performed to design a continuous douche for surgical robotic arm operated instruments and evaluate its use.

Methods

A continuous irrigator was designed for robotic arm operated surgical instruments. A total of 240 recovered robotic-arm instruments were selected from the Disinfection Supply Center of our hospital. These were divided into two groups according to their recycling order, with single number instruments in the control group and even number instruments in the experimental group. Each group included 120 pieces. In the experimental group, continuous douching was used for perfusion and soaking, while control group instruments were infused and soake
